Illusion And Dream Chords Guitar Tab

Poets of the fall - Illusion and dream

Intro: G#m  C#m  B   F# * 2

Verse 1
G#m       C#m                B            F#
Look in my eyes I'll make you see we're drifting aimlessly
G#m       C#m             B    F#
Blind in a world of make believe

Instrumental: G#m  C#m  B   F#

Verse 2:
Hear them sing their songs off key and nod like they agree
Buying the needs to be discreet

Bridge:
C#m                    B               A            C#m
I've got no hand in matters worldly, I hardly care at all
B                      A             C#m
What's going on fails to concern me 'cause I'm locked behind my wall
G#m
But you know what drives me out
F#
Out of my mind ooh

Chorus:
E                      F#                E
It's whatever makes you see, makes you believe
F#                       E
And forget about the premonition you need to conceive
F#                       E
The images they sell are Illusion and Dream
F#
In other words dishonesty

Instrumental * 2

Verse 3:
If I speak ill please, humour me. Won't rant on endlessly
Just thought I'd try to make you see

Bridge:
It doesn't solve a thing to dress it in a pretty gown
A stone will not need you to guess if you're still going to drown
So you know what drives me out
Out of my mind, oh

Chorus

Instrumental

Middle eight:
G#m                         C#m
So can you name your demon? Understand it's scheming
B                             F#
I raise my glass and say "Here's to you"
G#m                                 C#m
Can you chase your demon? Or will it take your freedom?
B                             F#
I raise my glass and say "Here's to you"

Bridge (lyrics from the first one)

Chorus * 2

No Picture MysticCat Wanna Be	#1 by MysticCat (Janis johnny Udodovs) at Oct 12, 2007 at 8:50 PM EST
	To me this song seems to be about Poverty. Beggars seem to be aimlessly drifting from day to day They Beg/Sing (singing usually off-key) and people drop in small amounts of money (occassionally) like they care that they are begging to no longer be Beggars. They have no hand in the world, they do not usually vote etc. and people avoid them like a wall is between them. The paper sell images of them as drug addicts and crack heads, which isn't always true. If they offend you as they try to explain their situation, they want you to please listen to them. 'Fancy' and 'Posh' clothing don't make a difference, we are all human and still feel pain, beggar or not. Can you name you problems? If so I congratulate you. Will you conquer your problems or will they destroy you and put you on the street? If you can defeat them, I can't congratulate you because we are from a different class of society. People try to ignore them, giving people peace of mind by making Beggars 'silent' If a beggar finds peace they find money, and so are free from the curse of the streets. With the money and freedom, they are no longer there so they are 'silent' to people again.
